与芒奇金人的会议
The Council with the Munchkins
她被一阵突如其来、猛烈的震动惊醒了，要不是多萝西躺在柔软的床上，她可能已经受伤了。
She was awakened by a shock, so sudden and severe that if Dorothy had not been lying on the soft bed she might have been hurt.
尽管如此，那震动还是让她倒吸一口冷气，不知道发生了什么事；托托把它冰凉的小鼻子凑到她脸上，发出凄惨的呜咽声。
As it was, the jar made her catch her breath and wonder what had happened; and Toto put his cold little nose into her face and whined dismally.
多萝西坐了起来，发现房子不再移动了；外面也不黑暗，明媚的阳光从窗户照进来，将这间小屋子映得一片光亮。
Dorothy sat up and noticed that the house was not moving; nor was it dark, for the bright sunshine came in at the window, flooding the little room.
她从床上跳起来，托托紧跟在她脚跟后面，她跑过去打开了门。
She sprang from her bed and with Toto at her heels ran and opened the door.
这个小女孩惊叫了一声，四处张望，眼睛看着眼前奇妙的景象越睁越大。
The little girl gave a cry of amazement and looked about her, her eyes growing bigger and bigger at the wonderful sights she saw.
龙卷风把房子轻轻地放了下来——对龙卷风来说已经算是轻柔的了——落在一片风景如画的美丽国度中央。
The cyclone had set the house down very gently—for a cyclone—in the midst of a country of marvelous beauty.
四周到处是可爱的绿草地，庄严的大树上挂满了丰盛甜美的果实。
There were lovely patches of greensward all about, with stately trees bearing rich and luscious fruits.
四面八方都盛开着绚烂的花丛，树木和灌木丛中有羽毛珍稀艳丽的鸟儿在歌唱、飞翔。
Banks of gorgeous flowers were on every hand, and birds with rare and brilliant plumage sang and fluttered in the trees and bushes.
不远处有一条小溪，在绿色的河岸之间奔流跳跃、波光粼粼，发出潺潺的声响，对于一个在干旱灰暗的草原上生活了这么久的小女孩来说，这声音听起来格外悦耳动听。
A little way off was a small brook, rushing and sparkling along between green banks, and murmuring in a voice very grateful to a little girl who had lived so long on the dry, gray prairies.
当她热切地凝望着这些陌生而美丽的景色时，她注意到有一群她从未见过的奇怪人朝她走来。
While she stood looking eagerly at the strange and beautiful sights, she noticed coming toward her a group of the queerest people she had ever seen.
